Fancy a self drive? Described as a luxury lounge on wheels, can you see yourself getting the groceries in this in a few years? Interactive walls, requires no driver and even talks to pedestrians saying, ‘GET OUT OF THE WAY PEASANTS!’ or similar! ๐
Nice work…I didn’t know I liked cars.
๐
๐
very nice, though the passengers/driver look a bit bored. A production/direction mistake I guess. As for me I gave my car away to daughter #2 at the beginning of the year, and am very happy with UBER. ๐
Yours truly, Bertrand…
Maybe that’s them just being all cool and stuff. Lucky daughter. Wish I got a free car!
Well, I wish I could oblige, but I am out of inventory. And not having a car feels like one step closer to freedom. Libertรฉ, libertรฉ chรฉrie…
In a weird way I agree. (I agree in a non weird way also it might interest you to know!)
Weird on non weird, that is the question? ๐ You have a “weird” mind, Agatha, in a nice, non-weird way… ๐
I thank you, weirdly enough. ๐
De rien mon amie… ๐
I like your sunglasses. Ralph Lauren? ๐
Haha! Ray-ban actually. I had a pair that had accompanied me for 40 years… Lost it last in Paris. Oh, I cried… ๐ Bought a new one exactly the same. ๐
Lol. You’re like me. When I like something, I LIKE something! Me in a shop: ‘I’ll have 10 pairs of Ray Bans please! Yes that’s right – all the same please. Spit spot!’
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Ten Ray-bans to go.
Lool! ๐ Pick ’em up duty free!
um, don’t understand the car or the pic. you see, I’m not into techno crap, give me a donkey and wooden cart, the countryside, and my own veggies which I’m off to market to sell. I know it’s going to be a good day today…….wait……..am I talking in my head? BAD car! love you!
No you’re talking out loud again! Lol. It’s what makes you you Lady D! ๐ PS it’s not a pic it’s a video lol. ๐ (PPS I agree about the donkey and the veggies!)
LOL….I hate those f****rs in my head, because they whisper, and I can’t hear what they’re saying! ๐
Lol! ๐
Yes ..My next Car!
Lol!
Um, they are a reality and not necessarily a good one …
Anyone who knows anything about computer programming should question the safety of these vehicles — too many unpredictable variables that the car (robot) alone will not be able to account for or react to. Just my humble opinion.
It’s a nice idea though I really think we ought to be using our brain cells to develop safer alternative forms of transportation that don’t burn fossil fuels and perhaps even promote our health rather than transform us into unthinking, inactive blobs. Safer biking lanes/paths and more livable communities and neighborhoods, for example.
Sorry, I’ll get off my soapbox now.
Yes I heard about that crash, but there’s nothing to say that human error or distraction or mucking about whilst driving might not ultimately be lessened by this technology. Plus if we’re taking unpredictable variables, there would be no better place to start than with humanoids!
Your desire for safer anything is echoed. I really don’t know why anyone feels we NEED this technology as I haven’t looked deeply into it, unless they are using my top argument, but still interesting and even if it’s just for pleasure, why not? It does not preclude anyone else from concentrating on safety issues and the like.
You and / or your soap box are always welcome!
It would be my next car if I had a first one!
Lol. ๐
Hmm… I’m not sure. I can give up control of most things, but I’m not sure I can give up driving control… Hmm…
Ms Jenn are u around?
I am always around ๐ hahaha…
Lool. ๐ Would you go to this link and tell me if it opens okay? http://www.thehomestyledirectory.com/
It seems to open fine on my phone… I didn’t look around yet, on my way to the gym. But I will as soon as I can ๐
Okay You go get ’em! Everyone else seems to be able to see it except me! I’m beginning to take it personally! ๐
Hmm… That’s strange…
Lol. Makes you feel very unloved! ๐ But it’s sorted now – ‘mine eyes can see it again!’
Thanks for checking!
No problem ๐ Anytime. Glad you got it sorted ๐
Like most things it would become normalized I suspect.
I have not driven since 2008! Vision problems forced me not to get a apply for a driver’s license when we moved to a new state if the U.S.A. Since I started driving at the age of 12, figured I had put enough miles under my belt over the years, anyway!
Well that’s a new use I hadn’t thought of…the partially sighted.
Not for me. I like to be in control of my ride and the seats look horribly uncomfortable. I’d definitely pay extra for an “out the way peasants!” button though….
Lool! I might have something there!
Driverless cars are almost becoming a reality here in Adelaide Australia
Oh really? Exciting.
yes, my eldest just completed a degree in mechatronic engineering (robotics) and he is very keen on these things. The company where he has joined are going to trial Driverless trains. (i guess mainly to use in the mines etc)
Gosh, gets more Star Trek every day! ๐
And well done your son! *Applause!*
Thank you, yes I am super proud of him, worked very hard, at times I felt it was too much, but that was his dream since year 4. So finally we got his degree i felt so relieved.
Brilliant. ๐
